Bugs
it is very buggy, u can use face detection lockscreen, all gba dosent work, some apps just close simultanly (they are still open in background), video recording only 720p, is is still better than stock rom, the good part: u can use google chrome, and connect a wii remote controller
Sorry i'm not the coder of this ROM but i think with the next updates it will became stable.There are a lot of bug but the most important functionality work
will it will be easy to come back to CM7 as clean everything and flash the CM from CWM?
Is there a recent apps button?
My favourite feature on my Transformer Prime
Arcee hasn't guaranteed continued support for this build. We just have to hope for it.
Most general functions work anyway and battery life is pretty good. Been using it all day and the phone is faster than I've ever seen it.
Really hope he carries on this project until we have a fully working, stable build.
Edit: Hold home button for recent apps list.....yeh, it's there.... ;-)

There's no video recording at all. That's because there's no media encoding/decoding available yet. It will crash the camera as soon you start recording.

Make a nandroid backup in CWM of your current CM7 ROM. You can go back and forth between them. This is my second time on CM9. I'm trying something. Maybe I'll go back later to CM7 again.

Only issue for now is the battery consumption, which is quite high. I can't last 8 hours on it. Maybe it will improve over some charging cycles, but it's too cool to give up for now. Otherwise, everything seems to work quite ok, even a2dp works. Maybe FM-radio doesn't work, but I don't really care anyway

Damn awesome! Also I just cannot understand what is happening with my battery: yesterday after installing the rom i charged it full and then unplugged.
I still have 81% remaining battery after 19 hours of use between wifi, camera, music and like 30 minutes of calls. If isn't just a visual bug it is awesome!

Indeed. I took it off the charger this morning at 07:30, and at 15:00 it was dead
I don't have any problems with battery drain. Haven't tried with a fully charged battery, but here after almost 9 hours I still on 71%, and the screen have only used 11%

ROM developers do a lot of awesome work for pretty much free, I find it kinda rude to "want" something like this
What you should really want is Motorola to release an official 2.2 kernel so that the devs have somthing good to work with. For a locked system we have come a long way imo.

Sense is very beeatiful and "worked", but is much for milestone processor and memory (your words dexter), right?

Telus Lite V5... No offense to the other devs, but this mod is rock solid. Loses no features, and gains both speed and battery life.
On typical usage, I get about 50-60 hours without having to plug in. I text a lot, usually have about 30-40min worth of phone calls, check email, have wi-fi and auto sync enabled about 1/4 of the time, and play some games (maybe 1 hour per day)
Never have any random reboots.
Although, I did go in with root explorer and decreases the voltages.. but it was clearly set up with a less forgiving CPU in mind.
seems not much developer want to add crystal talk to their rom, i think u better use official rom if u want that

Hi guys... ill be receiving my optimus 2x next week... id been reading about all the fixes for it and all that stuff... im planning on installing cm7... but id been reading about problems with sound quality and all that stuff, can anyone point me what baseband (or any other fixes) should i install on the cellphone to get everything working propertly? thanks in advance!
I have had mine for a while now..... 2 months or so? I insdtalled CM7 on it the first night I had it and I have never looked back.... I update every few days although to be honest usually I cant tell the difference between the roms.
Lovely phone, running cm7 - baseband/rij 725, launcher pro and htc sence theme... think its called ntsence.
Plenty other mods as well but these are the main ones
Never had a problem with call quality, there is screen bleeding but tbh unless you really look at a black screen you dont notice it
Bert
ohhh i see, i have to learn about the lg baseband thing hahahah... when i receive my cellphone ill have to check that, cause it seems that cm7 its running fine... but i keep reading about updating and replacing baseband!
to be honest I was running baseband 200 ( or 225 or something ) until a couple days ago.... never had a problem with it and only updated because we get a crap signal in the house ( on all 4 different mobiles.... 2x orange, t-mobile, o2 so I thought I'd try it.... cant say I notice a difference tho lol
Ohhh i see thanks man... ill check all that... what about your battery life?
My battery lasts about a day with wifi on, 3g on, fair usage of both, not many calls tbh but a few txts a day, 3 hours audiobook use per day, screen at full brightness.
As said in another post... if you think the 2x is bad try my wifes iphone :/
it seems pretty good battery life im used with my previous android to carry another battery on my pocket... maybe ill keep doing it... but it seems that this lg got better battery life, thanks man!
I don't mine I get half a day with having everything on and not using and by then I'm at 60% but I use and app for it now and I go home with 90% lol

First of all go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1082195
That will give you a clue on what baseband to choose (personally I use 725bb and 725 ril)
Then go here http://android.modaco.com/topic/335494-12-aug-smartflash-stock-baseband-release-103521-20110725/
That tells you what you need to do to change basebands. If you're planning on using CM7 (It comes with the 218 ril as standard, it doesn't change your baseband though) but you will need this program from the market 'LG Getril' it tells you what baseband you have and suggests a matching ril, it also lets you download and instal the ril too.
cm7 is running fine with stock baseband and ril for me
There is an app which automatically detects and recommends the best RIL for your Optimus 2X. It's called LG GetRIL.
Because I'm a new user, I can't post direct link
In terms of battery life, a good matching RIL to your phone can help increase your battery life.
Hope this helps!
thanks will check that too
Try android booster it works wonders I would go to work with full battery and be left with maybe 40% if I was lucky but with that app I go home with 89% so saves me about 50% battery every day

Is it possible to port photosphere app for CM? (If it works properly)
pianosorcerer said:
So everything from photo sphere , google now and all other features work fine ?? Thanks
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For the few days that I use on the release version(a few RC and nightly version too) and it is also my opinion on our P880
Photo sphere..r u meaning that you can take photo like a sphere? As I know stock CM10.1 does not have it(let me know if it does)......it still provide Panoramic (360 degree) photo... But I will flash and use the stock 4.1 photo apps instead, because only the stock one can make HDR really works and I feel that the picture quality is better.
Google Now....It works.
other functions...
MHL
As I previously said.. if you need MHL output.... sorry CM10.1 is never your choice.. coz' they officially said they won't improve the vertical problem while Nvidia didn't provide api for it.
Force 4x MSAA..
I have read some post said Tegra 3 chip does not support it .... so it won't work too
Gallery link to Google+ or Picasa (let me know if I am wrong too)
As I remember the stock 4.1.1 gallery can link to them, but it will not show it on CM10.1's gallery
No Stock Chinese IME (I am a chinese, maybe it is not a problem for most of you guys)
Well I can understand this, because it is the same as Nexus 4....but you can install an apps for it.
Except you need MHL.. it is really a great ROM...better control, UI and better response than the stock. I have never use benchmark to test any device while the actual feeling is mean more than this. Also, as we all know, the more apps we install the less performance it has.
For your reference (from Stock to CM10.1)
Battery life.... I can tell, it is almost the same. At the very 1st time I truly wipe off all my apps and use CM10.1... CM make a real difference.. but once I have all the stupid apps running now.. it is just the same.
Smoothness... Honestly it did improve!!! Even I have 100 or more apps installed...I still feel it has a lot better response than the stock.
Heat problem... Improve a little bit, but still the system go wrong (slower or restart) in poor condition(ie. hot weather)
For myself CM10.1 release works perfect except MHL for this phone. 4x HD has some hardware issue, but it is still a great phone for its price tag in HK.
Hope it helps and Thanks,
Mike

Are you meaning that you can manually select mobile networks? If that is the case, it works.
For the FM radio problem, i have no idea. I don't know y my release version of CM10.1, doesn't come with any FM Radio app. But i do remember some previous nightly or RC versions has it and it was working. I seldom use FM, so it is also not an issue for me.

How about charging issue?
My device sometimes stop charging at 92%, 96%, 97%.
After unplug charger, the charging resume to 100%.
Sometimes charging goes to 100%.
Totally random.

You just have to select p880 and it Works and I found por sound, anyway it's available.
It would be nice if someone could port the radio from the original ROM that I remember much better

Thanks a lot for posting about this! It truly is fast :3
The binary error is due to there being a couple different versions of this phone.
We'vre got a c50, ms345, and a h345 recovery. The mpcs ROM is only built to flash on the ms recovery since lollipop looks at the device name and not the hardware set when flashing ROMs on certain recoveries.
Been using this as a daily driver since the second week of Jan. It pretty solid. I use tasker to enable GPS automaticly when needed, this has solved my reboot issues... occasionally still have one now and then but I honestly can't remember when the last one was. I also use Power Cam in the Play Store and video recording is ok.

Three step process.
1. Set up a wake lock detector, see if any apps are waking the phone while it is at rest.
2.always make sure any features you don't need at the moment are off.
3.download a CPU monitor and let it measure your usage down to the last 15 percent, if anything seems out of the norm. Try and find a countermeasure.
I personally had an issue with the CPU ramping up to max clock speed at the slightest tap on the screen and the CPU would not ramp back down for almost 8 seconds.

In 2016 2GB of RAM in smartphones is nothing special, it's a minimum to get Android working good. Flagships have 4GB of RAM, OnePlus 3 even more. But... I'm so impressed how my Nexus 5 can handle apps running in background. I've been always satisfied with overall speed and memory management and now I can see it even more. Today I've made a completely clean flash with DARK ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-dark-rom-t3368248 and I opened couple of my apps.
So I ran:
MAPS.ME
Chrome Dev with 1 website opened
Instagram
Twitter
Facebook Messenger
Play Store
Phone app
Youtube
Spotify
Weather Timeline
WhatsApp
Tapatalk
QuickPic v4.5.2
Settings app
After open of each app, of course, I tapped home button, not back button. I did not only open each app but I did navigate a little, for example in Youtube I ran a video and THEN I tapped home button. So every app was running 100%. And guess what... EVERY app stayed in memory, when I relaunched every app, I haven't any reload, every app was working exactly as after first run. And everything was 100% smooth and fast. I wash I had a good camera to record a video, but I will try to capture it in few days. But why would I lie? [emoji14] Every Nexus 5 user should believe me, I guess. Of course, probably custom ROM and kernel make a difference in compare to stock ROM. Also, each ROM can work better or worse. So what's your experience when it comes to memory management in our 3 YEARS OLD device? (sorry for my not perfect English)

What part of my post do you not understand?
What's the point of it? I think that everyone who have a Nexus 5 knows it already.
But anyway, everybody is free to talk here. Thank you.

And everyone who doesn't have a Nexus 5 doesn't know about it.
And who would be accessing the thead of a 3 year old phone, if not the few owners?

Dark ROM has built-in TrueSight kernel and I'm using it.

I'd say you're the exception of the exception.

No need to fight guys. I'm still rocking my Nexus 5 CM 13 Snapshot + ElementalX Kernel. Smooth, fast, no problems, feels always like a new phone.

The post is really good in my opinion im pretty sure it really depends on the ROM and not on every ROM that will work for example the CM13 was alot faster than dirty unicorns ( Im currently running ) but i really like the rom its just all about modding ( i enabled the gesture the omni switch and there is alot more ) [the phone is fully loaded in tasks but still abale to be really good phone without any freezes or lags

Hi im not sure why you bought the phone but i can recommend you a few thinks just to know
-Elemental X is a great kernel
works With CM DU and Stock (not caf)
____MODS______
there is a stereo mod for nexus ( you are going to use your phone call speaker as a normal one )
Extra smoth mod really good mod but it includes new video driver so beware you doesnt have to worry about installing it
Nexus Volume booster there is an app at the play store wich creates a custom zips for this and it actually working !
PHYSICAL MOD I CANT REALLY RECOMMEND YOU DOING THIS AND I NOT GIVING ANY WARRANTY i just took apart my phone (its not that simple be really of the battery don't bend it if you are trying to get it out ( recommend you not doing this ) when you removing the battery connector DON'T bend it too much or it may break OK and be really gentle with the antennas so what are you have to do it sound really simple just apply thermal paste ( it helped me alot for some reason my phone was really Thermal Throttling all the time ) take the primary mobo out you doesnt have to take out the little board above the primary one dont forget to disconnect the camera )
( there is a really good root toolkit it includes back ups lock and unlocks of the boot loader custom recoveries in other words all the good stuff just search in google "nexus root toolkit")
hear is a few tips from experienced nexus 5 user
[if that helped you don't be mad bro just press the thanks button ]:good:
This makes me so proud to be an owner of a such beautiful device. I see people selling it on second hand sites for almost nothing, I actually thing of grabbing another one, or two.
And recently Im more into trying to get my old phones work good(nexus 4 - cm 12.1 - works like a breeze, galaxy sIII MINI - cm 12.1 unofficial - very impressed about how I got it to work, galaxy s plus - gingerRevenge - still works quite good with lighter tasks. And I bet there are a lot more older phones that still works good today.
I tell u. People dont know how to apreciate good tehnology. Also I hate this marketing making u buy a new phone every year.
